Shay Moree-Dew, LMT, LE
Senior VP of Operations
Shay has called the Low Country her home for over 35 years. When she is not at the Advanced Aesthetics Academy, you will most likely find her on the May River. With a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a working background in business management, she decided to further her love of learning by seeking licensure in both Massage Therapy (15+ years) and Esthetics (7+years). And with that, found her true passion; managing all the various aspects of Spa industry.
She has opened and/or owned multiple spas in the area, maintained a thriving medical massage practice and held positions of leadership in several high- end luxury resort spas. We feel very honored and blessed she is a part of our team.

Robin is originally from Kansas and has lived in the Savannah area since 2014 with her husband, son and three fur babies. She received her aesthetics license in 2004 and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science in 2009.
